Extension

[King's 1]

We got approved September but had to wait till November to get notified by the embassy and after two weeks of notification I went for my medicals last week the 29th of November and after that we paid for the visa interview and tried scheduling interview, but it happened that we couldn't get any appointment this December, the nearest available is on January 8 and our petition expires on the 6th of January, please what do we do to get extension of our petition? Thanks..

Have you contacted the embassy / consulate?

 

What country is this for?

 

Advise  to others - don't wait to schedule the appointment.  You don't need to wait for medicals once you have your case number.

Yes we have,this lady that responded...we are not really sure she knows that very well  because she had to ask us to hold on severally to ask questions then answer us, but at the end she said that we should go on and schedule an appointment but that we should wait to hear from the consular too, the country is south Korea.. Thanks. Is there a way to fasten hearing from the consular?

Basically never wait to hear from them if you dont have to, After you get the NOA2 you have to be proactive and call the them to get the info you need to continue onward. As user Paul & Mary stated, once you have your NVC case number from them you can go ahead and do the medical, before that you can start doing your other required documentation.

You can always go to the embassy/ consulate and speak to someone at the information window.   Have you tried to email them (embassy / consulate)  or call the NVC?  I am  not sure the NVC can help but it is worth the try.  

 

If you can't get it resolved I am afraid you will have to refile your petition.

Based on your timeline the beneficiary is Nigerian but you filed South Korea?  So the beneficiary has residency in South Korea? If you are both residents of South Korea you can get married and file DCF.
